a

Adjusted model is adjusted for demographic covariates, including ethnicity, sex, and parental education level.

b

Adjusted model is adjusted for peer substance use and positive urgency in addition to demographic covariates tested in aAdjusted.

c

Adjusted model is adjusted for depression, anxiety, and panic symptoms in addition to covariates tested in aAdjusted and bAdjusted.
